MCX Gold August Future is in bearish trend

Gold prices rose slightly in Asia on Friday as a follow-on to ultra-loose monetary policy by the European Central Bank overnight with the focus now on U.S. Data, expected to show a gain of 218,000 jobs. The European Central Bank cut its benchmark interest rate to a record-low 0.15% from the 0.25% rate held since November earlier in the day. We expect spot gold prices to trade on the positive note as the European Central Bank slashed its benchmark interest rates by 0.1 percent. Further, weakness in DX and expectation of decline in US Non-Farm Employment Change data may support prices to trade in positive way. However, upbeat global market sentiments may lead to the decline in demand for safe haven and expectations among the market participants that the US Federal Reserve may continue reducing its stimulus package at same pace may cap sharp upside in the prices.
